After the patent expires, can others continue to apply?

In the process of starting a business, many entrepreneurs will encounter problems of all sizes. With the development of network technology, our brand is no longer limited to offline communication, but more to promote and sell products through network platforms, major apps and short videos. Then for brand ownership, each company will apply for a patent according to its own brand. After the brand applies for a patent, the trademark and product name will be protected, and other businesses will not be able to use similar trademarks or names for secondary registration. After the product patent expires, can others continue to apply? I believe many people are not very clear about this problem. The following small series will explain it in detail.

Bian Xiao looked up the information and found that China has no special restrictions on the patent application period. As far as time is concerned, the patent has not expired, so if we have an invention or product, we can apply for a patent at the first time. This situation is good news for many enterprises. So we are not afraid that our patents will expire. To say the least, even if there is a time limit, other businesses can't apply for similar brand names and trademark patents after the patent expires.

After the expiration of the patent, if a second judgment is not made, the patent is likely to be converted into a patent, that is, everyone can use it together. But basically * * * patents will not appear in product patent applications at all, because every business will not be stupid enough to use its own promotion manpower, material resources and financial resources to promote other people's brands. Generally, they will register their own brands and trademarks, and then promote and sell their products according to the company's needs and operation methods.

The above is what Bian Xiao learned. If there are other things that others can continue to apply for after the patent expires, you can search the relevant data online to learn more according to your own needs.
